IN sIEMORIAM.

t0NNA ~-AiitN ~ ~ hioAAn hA was
born in Monroe Co., Miss, May
Slst, 1864. and died at the home OF
her father 3 miles south ofHouston,
Chicbasaw Co., Miss, Nov. 9th,
1881 She protested religion and
joined the NJ. +. Church south at
Prospect, at the age of ten years.
Although her home the greater
part of her life was the country in
which she died. She was widely
known and highly esteemed by all
who knew her, and many will
mourn her loss to the Church and
society. Those who knew her
best bear witness to the purity Of
her christian character. Her life
was not the type that is made up
of lew striking characteristics,
but in we'll rounded and steady
character which carried its oonvic-
tons aud work into each and ev-
cry day lite. Cautious in judg-
ment, decided in conviction, calm,
dignified and christian-like in tenn
permanent and habit; punctual in
all regular duties, social, domestic
and religious; she was indeed the
nurse of the sick among friends
and students, at home or abroad,
wherever she CHANGED to be thrown;
all these things must be brought
into notice in order to approximate
ly understand and see the beauties
of this noble and useful woman.
Her strong devotions 20 the Church
were untiring, and her zeal as a
christian lady aud worker in the
Masters Yinyard was unsurpassed
by any one of her age we have
ever known during an experience
and observation of forty years.
She doubtless was a martyr to the
slow fever occasioned by her no.
BILE hearted treatment and atten-
ton, voluntarily nursing some of
her classmates, who was attacked
by slow fever while attending the
College at Buena Vista, Miss. Her
sickness lasted near a month dur
ing which time she exercised great
patience, and left abundant testi-
mony Of her acceptance with God.
She said to us and others daring
her sickness that she was perfectly
resigned and submissive and was
ready and waiting to suffer the
will OF God. Her remains were
laid to rest in the Cemetery at
Prospect Church on the 18th inst.
A host Of weeping friends attended
service. The Rev. r. J. Lowry,
and the Rev. Mr.. Tucker of North
Miss, and the writer performed the
burial service.

MIND READER BISHOP.
He Gives New York Committee an Aston
ishing Sample Of His Wonderful Powers.

New YORK, March 5-Washington Irving
Bishop, the mind reader, gave peculiarly try
ing test OF his power. this afternoon. at the
Hoffman House, in the presence of members OF
the press, Of the theatrical profession. doctors,
lawyers and others He borrowed q brooch
from Mrs. Frank Leslie, which he gave to a COM
mittee of four gentlemen previously chosen from
the audience. telling them to conceal it any
where within mile of the hotel. The com
mittee drove off in carriage, re-
turning after a half-hour's absence
Bishop was then blindfolded. This WAS done by
tying cotton batting around his eyes. Then a
black badge was put over his head and fastened
around his neck. A two-seated open carriage
was waiting at the door. and in this Mr.. Bishop
and Bishop took the reins and drove off through
great crowd Of people and vehicles guiding the
horses with remarkable dexterity, considering
that he could not use his eyes He drove over a
devious route, and just near the southeast cor
ner or Gramercy Park stopped the We
hcle and alghted the committee fol-
lowing. A large crowd had after
the carriage all the way from the Hoffman
House, and Bishop had hard work making his
way through the throng that flocked about him.
He crossed the street and proceeded along East
the Gramercy- park Hotel into which he turned
without hesitation, walked into room and
placed his hand on o vase which rested upon a
table He held his hand there for q few seconds,
and then requested that the vase be removed.
His wish was complied WITH and he picked the
brooch up from the table, where it had been left
by the committee.

known, the Colonel said the. family would issue
bulletins Of Mr. Beecher's condition as often as
they thought necessary-probably at morning,
noon and night
For four or five weeks past Mr.. Beecher has
given nearly all his time to the completion OF his
Life OF Christ" This has been indoor work.
and during this period he has taken but
little exercise in the open air. Mrs Beecher
now says that che noticed that her
husband was not so fresh or bright during this
time, and that his spirits were not so buoyant as
usual, but he persisted in saying that there was
nothing the matter with him. Whenever he
felt unusually out of sorts he visited Dr.
Searle and had prescribed for him
some simple tonic. On Wednesday last
Mr.. Beecher went to his farm at Peekskil and
returned the same day. He said to his wife
then that he thought he had taken cold, but
thought that it was nothing serious. He ate a
few clans for supper, and after some literary
work, retired some time before his usual hour.
When he awoke he complained of a
severe pain in his head. Mrs. Beecher was sur
prised. Headache for the reverend gentleman
was an anomaly, as he had never before been
known to have one Mrs. Beecher bathed his
head. and did every thing else she could for him,
but 80 little did she think that his illness was
anything but sligh. attack that doctor was
not sent for until afternoon.

at no time was it pale. He moved his right arm

He remained on his back, and made no attempt

THE FORTIFICAT1oNs BILL.
The Point Upon Which the Senate and House
Conferees Were Unable to Agree

The Point Upon Which the Senate and House
Conferees Were Unable to Agree
WASHINGTON. March 5.-As explained in the
Senate by Mr. Dawes, the rock upon which the
conferees on the Notifications appropriation bill
finally split was Section Of the bill prepared
by the Senate conferees This section author
izes the advisory board to make contracts
with responsible steel manufacturers for
the supply of 10000 tons of gun
steel subject to tests and inspection
at every stage. and appropriates s6,00O.000 for
its purchase. The corresponding provision
made by the House conferees was contained in
Section of their bill. This section appropri-
ated like of So, 900, 900 for the purchase of
steel. but with the proviso that only 30
much should be accepted as would suf
fee for the fabrication of three guns of
eight, ten and twelve-incn caibres. These
guns were to be tested by requiring them to en-
dure 200 discharges in periods of time ranging
from so to 100 minutes. If they failed to pass
these tests, then no more OF the appropriation
was to become available for the purchase of steel
The objection of the Senate conferees TO
this proviso was that it would result
IN leaving the country without guns
tor many years to come as it would
take at least three OR four years to finish and
test the specimen guns, and. in the event OF
their success, as many additional years TO pro-
cure others of the same types.

Only one Interstate Commissioner Selected
Fairchild and the Treasury


Fairchild and the Treasury.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, March 5-Latest INQUIRIES
about the personnel of the interstate commerce
commission lead to the impression that there
are still before the President eight or nine
names from among which the five commissioners
will be chosen during the next fortnight. It is
understood that formal tenders and acceptances
have not been changed in any instance. The
Presidents method has been to inquire indi-
rectly, through mutual acquaintance, whether
eligible persons would be likely to accept, if
appointments were rendered, and by the an
swers to such inquiries he mas gradually formed
q little list without committing himself. While
three or four names freely discussed in this con-
nection for weeks very likely to be upon the
list when announced, there is. probably not one
selection yet made, unless it be of ex-Congress-
man Morrison, that is not subject to further con-
sideration.
Up to this time it can be positively stated that
the question as to who is to succeed Mr.. Man
ming has not been definitely settled AS far as
can be learned, there has been no actual tender
which has been declined. Several names have
in turn been considered, and set aside. AS mat
tiers now stand. it is almost universally beiieved
among those best informed, that Assistant Sec
rotary Fairchild will be invited to enter the
Cabinet.

There was a storm of ayes, and not no. The
Chair. maintaining solemn look. declared that
the salaries were doubled, and observed that it
gave him great pleasure to see the members
awaking to a sense of their duty, even to pro-
yiding for themselves. He then put the ques

secretaries. and it was carried without dissent.
